A similar backward elimination screening algorithm as that used in MPAS is then applied using the scores defined above.
The feminization alternative is eliminated in later steps of this process-of-elimination screen.
The process-of-elimination screen for SA-ZD has limitations.
To maintain consistency, subadult sex ratios were measured in the same way and at the same times in all three generations of the process-of-elimination screen.
No, because it is based exclusively on negative evidence from a process-of-elimination screen, rather than on positive evidence of mechanistic causation.
The process-of-elimination screen ruled out feminization and identified SA-ZD as a causal agent for the increased sex ratio bias in subadults compared with embryos.
I begin by describing a general process-of-elimination screen to disentangle X-linked SA-ZD from other potential factors leading to sex ratio distortion.
The process-of-elimination screen described here should provide the requisite tool to uncover SA-ZD when present alone or in combination with other sex ratio distorters, so long as it is sufficiently strong.
Each of these stocks had a sex ratio of approximately 85% females, and one of these (RIL-6) was used as the "SR" line in process-of-elimination screen for SA-ZD.
Because I passed through steps 1, 2a, 3a, and 3b, I can also conclude that the SA-ZD phenotype was operating and not confused with CYTO-ASEX, CYTO-FEM X-FEM, and Y-FEM, as described more fully in the last paragraph of the previous section describing the rationale for the process-of-elimination screen.
Here I develop and use a process-of-elimination screen to show that an unclassified X-linked sex ratio distorter (skew) in Drosophila simulans kills or incapacitates noncarrier sperm and also kills a substantial proportion of sons, i.e., it has both a segregation distortion and a SA-zygotic drive phenotype.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
